# Altura
Altura makes it possible to integrate
blockchain-backed assets in your applications
without the need for any web3 knowledge.
## Altura is creating:
- A marketplace for buying, selling and sending NFTs
- A user interface for creating smart NFTs
- Loot boxes that drop NFTs and a way to create loot boxes
- APIs and SDKs for video game integration
## Tokenomics:
ALU is the native utility token that is used for:
- Transactions on the Altura NFT marketplace
- Governance and determining the direction of the platform
## Features
### Smart NFTs
Imagine a video game sword that gets duller every time it is used to slay a monster. Smart NFTs have properties that can change based on certain conditions.
### Loot Boxes Reimagined
We want to create truly random loot boxes on the blockchain that drop NFTs with varying rarities when they are unlocked.
### Cross-Platform Items
Altura wants gamers to be able to use the same in-game items between multiple video games.
